1 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,679 Speaker 1: Hello, friends from across the nation and around the world. 2 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,480 I'm Martin, and you are listening to another Dad's Bedtime 3 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:18,519 Stories super story where we go back into the Dad's 4 00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:21,839 Bedtime Stories vault and put together a bit of a 5 00:00:21,839 --> 00:00:27,559 compilation episode. Today or tonight, we're going to be sort 6 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,320 of finishing up on the Kid Wizard series with episode 7 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:38,520 seven and eight, if I remember correctly, Episode seven is 8 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,159 where you learn to control lightning magic, which is always 9 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,880 a fun time. And then episode eight you control time 10 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:55,039 magic and defeat Tyrannus rexingten youre arch enemy in this universe. Anyways, 11 00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:58,880 I really hope you enjoy it, because now it's that 12 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,600 time again. Time to get as comfy as you can 13 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,000 in that bed, close your eyes and imagine yourself doing 14 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:15,799 what the kid in the story does. Imagine yourself walking 15 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,680 through the Wizarding Academy one day, a huge and ancient 16 00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:25,840 castle with all sorts of hallways and rooms. You decide 17 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,719 it's time to visit the castle cafeteria. You tell the 18 00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:34,599 castle what you're looking for, and a pathway on the 19 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,719 floor lights up with little arrows pointing you in the 20 00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:45,319 right direction. You follow the arrows through the hall into 21 00:01:45,359 --> 00:01:49,079 the main foyer, and then up a set of stairs 22 00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:55,480 over the right and down another series of hallways. Eventually 23 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,159 it opens up into a huge cafeteria with a very 24 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:06,959 large balcony. Wizards of all different shapes, sizes, and colors 25 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,080 are all hanging out here. Some of them are talking, 26 00:02:11,719 --> 00:02:18,080 others are eating. It's an absolute hub of wizarding activity. 27 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,039 The whole thing is set up like the food court 28 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,840 at a mall, a whole bunch of restaurants on every 29 00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:28,479 different side, and a whole bunch of tables in the middle. 30 00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:33,840 You search around, grab a tray of food, and pick 31 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,680 up a little bit of this and a little bit 32 00:02:36,719 --> 00:02:40,400 of that from all of the different restaurants, until you 33 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,400 have a plate of food that you are very excited 34 00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:48,639 to eat. On your way back to the table, you 35 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,000 hear a familiar voice. 36 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,599 Speaker 2: No if it. 37 00:02:53,759 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: Isn't you, Oh no, you say, Tyrannus Rexington. What do 38 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:09,680 you want, Tyrannus? Oh me, Well, there's nothing I want 39 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:15,879 that I don't already have. Unlike you, I am a 40 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:22,599 well practiced file wizard, and recently my father has taught 41 00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:28,840 me the art of lightning. Well that's that's really good 42 00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:31,800 for you, Tyrannus it's cool, so you know lightning now, 43 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:37,439 great job. You should think it more great than you 44 00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:44,840 seem to, kid, Tyrannus says. You decide to continue walking 45 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,439 in the other direction. There's no need to get into 46 00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:50,280 some sort of duel or something like that right now. 47 00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:57,280 Suddenly you feel a shock from behind. It jolts through 48 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,280 your entire body, causing you to throw your tray up 49 00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:04,039 into the air and spill it all over the place. 50 00:04:05,199 --> 00:04:09,439 When you look behind you, a little stream of smoke 51 00:04:09,639 --> 00:04:14,439 is rising up from well, a little mark on your bum. 52 00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:23,399 He just used lightning magic on you, you realize. You 53 00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:28,800 turn to face Tyrannus. You clench both of your fists together, 54 00:04:29,959 --> 00:04:34,240 and you begin to allow your power to spill out. 55 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,519 Ice spreads from your feet towards the other students when 56 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:45,839 you suddenly hear another familiar voice, Martin's, hey, kid, what 57 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,120 are you doing here? It looks like you're about to 58 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,639 burst a blood vessel or something. Come on, lighten up, 59 00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:57,240 come with me. Martin turns you around and walks out 60 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:03,240 of the cafeteria behind him. Knowing that he's a trustworthy person, 61 00:05:04,439 --> 00:05:07,800 you glance behind you at Tyrannus and all of his friends, 62 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:13,600 and they burst out laughing, slapping the table with joy. Boy, 63 00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:16,959 did they get a kick out of that little electricity prank? 64 00:05:19,079 --> 00:05:24,199 As you and Martin walk, he begins to speak to you, Well, 65 00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:26,639 I hope you weren't about to try to take him 66 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,879 on lightnings, No laughing matter. If he's learned how to 67 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,480 control that, you need to learn how to be prepared 68 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:41,199 for it. Martin explains, well, how do I do that? 69 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,040 You ask, I'll show you, and you pick pretty much 70 00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:49,800 everything up pretty quickly. So Eah, it shouldn't take long. 71 00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:54,319 You and Martin walk through the hallways of the castle 72 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,000 until you eventually get to your training room once again. 73 00:05:59,319 --> 00:06:03,279 The training is a huge, open area about the same 74 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,800 size as a gymnasium, only it's made with rock walls 75 00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:11,560 instead of whatever gymnasiums are made of. 76 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 2: You stand in the. 77 00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: Center of the room and Martin looks back towards you. Well, 78 00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:25,560 lightning's really not that hard, especially if you understand how 79 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,319 it kind of works. You see, most lightning is caused 80 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,360 by the separation of positive man negative particles between a 81 00:06:35,439 --> 00:06:39,319 cloud and the ground. What we're gonna do is called 82 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:46,600 the clapping method. It mimics that whole thing. First, take 83 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,560 one of your hands and imagine it pulling all of 84 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,560 the positive particles with it, as if it's a magnet. 85 00:06:55,399 --> 00:06:59,360 Then take your other hand, man, imagine it pulling apart 86 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,040 all all of the negative particles like it's a magnet. 87 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,759 Then when you're ready, you let the two slap together. Man, 88 00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:15,319 you unleash a bolt of lightning like this, Martin says, 89 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,240 clapping both of his hands together and unleashing a huge 90 00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:24,920 bolt of electricity that flies across the room and destroys 91 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,600 part of the wall at the other side. WHOA, you say, 92 00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:36,680 that was incredibly powerful. Yeah, and kind of hard to 93 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,439 control too. Honestly, lightning really isn't something you should mess 94 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,399 with unless you're with a trained professional like me, of course. 95 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:52,480 Now close your eyes and start to focus. You close 96 00:07:52,519 --> 00:07:58,680 your eyes and do as Martin commands. Now, I want 97 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:05,360 you to start by focusing inward, sensing the natural electrical 98 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:11,199 energy within your body. Imagine each of your hands as 99 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:16,959 magnets ready to separate and gather the charge. One of 100 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:24,360 them is positive and the other is negative. Now picture 101 00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:30,040 yourself actively pulling apart the positive and the negative charges 102 00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:34,519 in the air around you. You might imagine one of 103 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:40,600 your hand gathering a cloud of negative charge. Think dark, dense, 104 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:48,840 crackling with static, while your other hand gathers positive things, light, bright, 105 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,440 and buzzing with energy. 106 00:08:51,919 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 2: You do just as he tells you. 107 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: You imagine your right hand is light, bright and buzzing 108 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,679 with energy. Well, your left hand is dark and dense, 109 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:11,679 crackling with static. You feel the different particles separating, You 110 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,360 feel them trying to pull themselves back together. But with 111 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:21,799 your continued focus, you keep them apart, drawing more and 112 00:09:21,879 --> 00:09:25,960 more and more of them apart as you go. Now, 113 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:32,200 when you're ready, just clap your hands together. With that command, 114 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:37,240 you allow your hands to snap back together, and sure enough, 115 00:09:37,919 --> 00:09:42,399 there's a sudden explosion of a light one that shoots 116 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:47,679 you straight backwards. You fall down onto the ground, not 117 00:09:47,799 --> 00:09:54,360 really sure exactly what happened. Great work, Martin says, But 118 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,759 the next step I kind of forgot to mention. You 119 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,519 have to create a path for the energy to try travel, 120 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,320 otherwise it'll just kind of explode like that, which was hilarious. 121 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,039 Speaker 2: By the way. 122 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,519 Speaker 1: You should see the look on your face. Martin walks 123 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,960 over and grabs you by the hand, pulling you back up. 124 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 2: To your feet. 125 00:10:15,759 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: Now, air isn't normally the best conductor of electricity, so 126 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,159 you have to create a path within it. I like 127 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,320 to just imagine the path in my mind connecting from 128 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,759 my hands too, well, whatever it is I'm aiming for. 129 00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:40,080 Then I imagine myself pushing all of the electrons out 130 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,200 of that part of air, kind of like this. 131 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 2: Here, grab my hand. 132 00:10:45,639 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: You hold Martin's hand for a second, and strangely, as 133 00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:54,399 you close your eyes, you can see the path that 134 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,840 Martin sees. You see it appearing in the world in 135 00:10:58,879 --> 00:11:03,320 front of you, and then you can sort of sense 136 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,639 little things being pushed out of the path, creating a 137 00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:12,919 perfect channel through the air. Now, when you clap your 138 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,320 hands back together, the energy has somewhere else to go. 139 00:11:18,919 --> 00:11:23,399 Martin snaps his thumb and forefinger together, creating a small 140 00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:27,440 bolt of lightning that travels through the path he well 141 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,840 intended it to and hits one of the stones on 142 00:11:30,879 --> 00:11:32,759 the other side. 143 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,279 Speaker 2: Now it's your turn. 144 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: Okay, You repeat the exercise from before, making your hands 145 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,000 like little magnets, one pulling the negative energy and one 146 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:52,639 pulling the positive energy apart. Then you imagine a pathway 147 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,200 extending out in front of you and connecting to the 148 00:11:56,279 --> 00:12:01,519 stone wall on the other side. You open the pathway 149 00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:06,519 up by pushing out the electrons, just as you saw 150 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:12,000 Martin do a few moments ago. When the pathway feels 151 00:12:12,039 --> 00:12:15,480 the same as it did for Martin, you allow your 152 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:20,200 hands to slam back together once again. There's a strong 153 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,480 burst of energy, but this time it shoots as an 154 00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:28,159 arc of lightning and connects to the wall on the 155 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:34,519 other side, blowing up the rock instead of throwing you backwards. 156 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,080 That was amazing. I don't think anybody's ever gotten that 157 00:12:40,159 --> 00:12:45,120 on the first dry before. Ah Well, keep working at it, 158 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,600 and as you go you don't actually have to use 159 00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:55,320 your hands. You can use two fingers, and eventually you 160 00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:00,519 can just use your mind to separate the electricity. You 161 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,360 continue to experiment for a long time. You start by 162 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,879 using the clap method, just as you've learned from Martin, 163 00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:14,879 building up different amounts of electricity, creating paths for it, 164 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,559 and suddenly unleashing it. When you get that figured out, 165 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,720 you switch to using just your pointer finger and your thumb, 166 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,960 using your thumb to pull the positive energy, your pointer 167 00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:34,399 to pull the negative, and letting the two snap back together, 168 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:40,360 creating a bolt of lightning. Soon enough, you can create 169 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,919 bolts of lightning in each hand with ease. The more 170 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,320 often you do it, the easier the process becomes, the 171 00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:54,720 feeling of it, and the muscle memory solidifies inside your 172 00:13:54,799 --> 00:13:58,320 head to the point where it starts to feel natural 173 00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:02,919 to unleash the bolts of light lightening themselves. This is 174 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,360 so cool, you say, But what do I do if 175 00:14:07,399 --> 00:14:12,279 someone attacks me with lightning? Now that's a great question. 176 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 2: Eh. 177 00:14:13,799 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: There's a few methods to that, but the most basic 178 00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:23,120 one is to redirect it. What I like to do 179 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,759 is use my mind to create paths from well directly 180 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,440 in front of me to directly behind me, the same 181 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,399 kind of paths you use to direct the lightning in 182 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:41,639 the first place. Watch this, Martin says. He walks out 183 00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:44,440 in front of you, standing between you and the wall 184 00:14:44,519 --> 00:14:47,840 and the other end. Now hit me with a bolt 185 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:53,279 of electricity, Martin says. He reaches his hand out as 186 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:59,320 if it's gonna stop the bolt itself. Trusting Martin that 187 00:14:59,759 --> 00:15:04,159 this probably won't hurt him too much. You gather electricity 188 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,919 and both of your hands. You separate the different charges, 189 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,600 and you allow them to clap together, sending them directly 190 00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:18,840 towards Martin. But instead of the bolt hitting them it 191 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,480 just kind of curves around him and strikes the wall behind. 192 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:29,159 That was so cool. Let me try again. You send 193 00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:33,240 bolts after bolts of lightning at Martin, but no matter 194 00:15:33,559 --> 00:15:37,039 how many you try or how large you make them, 195 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,320 they all just curve around his body and hit the 196 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:46,279 wall behind. Now it's your turn, kid, Close your eyes 197 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,600 and just imagine different paths for the lightning to follow. 198 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:57,360 Open the paths, push out the negative particles and the electrons. 199 00:15:58,799 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 2: You do just that. 200 00:16:00,879 --> 00:16:04,879 Speaker 1: You imagine a series of different pathways for the lightning 201 00:16:05,639 --> 00:16:11,080 moving from the front of you to behind you. You 202 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,120 focus on moving the electrons out of the different pathways, 203 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,639 leaving them extra conductive and ready for the lightning to 204 00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:23,960 travel through them. All right, I think I got it, 205 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:29,240 you announce. Martin reaches out as one hand to the 206 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,399 left and his other hand to the right. He gathers 207 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:38,279 an immense amount of electricity and then slaps his hands together. 208 00:16:39,159 --> 00:16:43,559 A bolt flies directly at you. You continue to just 209 00:16:43,679 --> 00:16:47,000 focus on the pathways and imagine the bolt of lightning 210 00:16:47,039 --> 00:16:51,440 traveling through them instead of through you, and sure enough, 211 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,200 it arcs right around you and strikes the wall behind. 212 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,879 You and Martin continue practice for a while, until you 213 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,319 have the basics down, until you're able to create a 214 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:11,119 shield of pathways around yourself that can deflect lightning in 215 00:17:11,279 --> 00:17:16,799 all different directions. Great work, kid, Now, the only next 216 00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:19,839 step is to try it in a real world situation, 217 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:26,799 speaking of which, I'll be right back. Martin suddenly leaves 218 00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:31,200 the room. While he's gone, you practice shooting lightning bolts, 219 00:17:31,839 --> 00:17:37,440 You practice redirecting them using different pathways, curving them around 220 00:17:37,559 --> 00:17:44,599 and loops. And eventually Martin returns, Uh, where'd you go? 221 00:17:45,039 --> 00:17:45,559 You ask? 222 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 2: Oh? 223 00:17:46,559 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: Nothing important, nothing important at all, Martin says, and then 224 00:17:51,839 --> 00:17:57,640 his wand starts to pulse with energy. What's that you ask? 225 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,519 Speaker 2: Oh? No, oh? 226 00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 1: Martin says, that must be my alarm. 227 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:06,319 Speaker 2: Let me check. 228 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: Martin picks up his wand and places it against his ear. 229 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,759 He begins nodding his head as if he's listening to 230 00:18:14,839 --> 00:18:20,359 something on the phone. It's where Oh no, and and 231 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,240 what kind of creature? A lightning creature? 232 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 2: You say? 233 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: That's terrible. Now, don't worry the kid, and I'll be 234 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:37,559 right there. Something seems strange about Martin's voice. It sounds 235 00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:42,119 more like acting than anything else. But you just kind 236 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:47,240 of shake it off. Uh, what was that you ask, well, 237 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,720 the bad news is there's some sort of lightning bird 238 00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:55,559 creature headed directly for your house. But the good news 239 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,240 is you now know lightning and we can stop it. 240 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:05,839 Headed to my house. You ask, like, where my family is? 241 00:19:06,519 --> 00:19:12,680 I can't we need to stop it. You say, no problem, 242 00:19:12,839 --> 00:19:17,359 calm down. Martin summons his magic carpet and jumps aboard. 243 00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:21,680 Come on, kid, no time to waste, he says, as 244 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,160 he flies off through the castle. You reach into your 245 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,640 pocket and pull out your backpack. You make it grow 246 00:19:30,759 --> 00:19:34,079 just large enough to reach your hand in, and you 247 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:39,240 stick your arm right inside it, thinking about your magic skateboard. 248 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,000 You soon feel something in your hand and you pull 249 00:19:43,039 --> 00:19:46,920 it out of the bag. It's your magic skateboard. You 250 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:51,160 place it onto the ground, climb aboard, and with just 251 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,960 a thought, your feet lock onto it, and the skateboard 252 00:19:55,039 --> 00:19:59,720 shoots forward, flying through the halls of the castle, out 253 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,680 the door or and up into the air towards the 254 00:20:02,759 --> 00:20:07,720 tree portal that you first got here through. Using the 255 00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:12,000 tree portal, you and Martin head back to the real world. 256 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:18,200 You fly high above it, just below the clouds, until 257 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:24,599 you see familiar territory, your home, and sure enough, there's 258 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:30,799 some sort of strange lightning cloud in the distance. What 259 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,160 why is this thing attacking my house? 260 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:34,039 Speaker 2: You ask? 261 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:40,799 Speaker 1: I don't know, Martin responds, but you're gonna have to 262 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,759 use your new found powers to find out. 263 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:46,279 Speaker 2: You're starting to. 264 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 1: Get awfully suspicious of Martin, but with some sort of 265 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,039 lightning thing heading towards your house, there's no time to 266 00:20:55,079 --> 00:20:59,680 think about it. You fly directly above your home and 267 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,559 you begin to hover there on your magic skateboard a 268 00:21:04,599 --> 00:21:10,599 cloud of lightning, and well, cloud starts to approach you. 269 00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:16,880 Lightning shoots out in all different directions, and it stops 270 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:22,480 just above your home. If I were you, I'd do 271 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:27,279 that lightning deflection thing and maybe don't aim it for 272 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:32,359 your house, Martin says. You look up at the huge 273 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:37,880 cloud of lightning. It's getting meaner and scarier looking. So 274 00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:42,599 you do just as Martin says. You begin to imagine 275 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:47,720 pathways appearing above you and then winding around to the 276 00:21:47,759 --> 00:21:53,839 ground just outside your house. You create pathway after pathway 277 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:59,160 after pathway. I'm essentially creating a protective shield around your home. 278 00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:05,720 The lightning cloud suddenly surges with electricity. A bolt of 279 00:22:05,799 --> 00:22:10,680 lightning flies down towards you, but luckily It follows the 280 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,920 path you've created and strikes the ground harmlessly beside your home. 281 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:23,160 I can't believe that worked. You say, keep focusing, kid, 282 00:22:24,319 --> 00:22:28,319 and you do. You focus on the cloud above you, 283 00:22:29,279 --> 00:22:33,519 and time after time lightning begins shooting out of the cloud, 284 00:22:34,039 --> 00:22:38,279 and time after time you deflect it. The question is, 285 00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:42,279 how exactly are you going to stop this thing? It 286 00:22:42,319 --> 00:22:48,759 seems to just keep happening. And then you get an idea. 287 00:22:49,559 --> 00:22:54,799 You redirect the pathways from around your house and point 288 00:22:54,839 --> 00:23:01,960 them back towards the cloud itself leashes another series of 289 00:23:02,039 --> 00:23:06,640 lightning bolts, but this time, as they reach just above 290 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:11,880 your head, they hit one of your pathways, curve around, 291 00:23:12,039 --> 00:23:17,680 and head right back towards the cloud, creating a small explosion. 292 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:24,160 The cloud unleashes more bolts of lightning, and again the 293 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,920 bolts travel through one of the pathways, curve back up, 294 00:23:28,519 --> 00:23:35,480 and slam into the cloud, creating even larger explosions. Suddenly, 295 00:23:35,559 --> 00:23:39,960 something starts to fall out of the cloud, something that's 296 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,720 on fire. It hits the ground just beside your house, 297 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,599 and the cloud itself just disappears. 298 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,319 Speaker 2: What is that? You ask? 299 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,559 Speaker 1: You and Martin fly down to check it out. As 300 00:23:57,599 --> 00:24:02,319 you land on the ground. You see a large blue 301 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,200 bird the size of well, the size that you'd imagine 302 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:12,759 a terodactyl to be, laying there on the ground sparking 303 00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:19,519 with electricity. Wow, how did my pet lightning bird get here? 304 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:25,559 Martin says, your pet lightning bird? 305 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,559 Speaker 2: You mean you did this? 306 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: I shared did And there's nothing like real world experience 307 00:24:34,799 --> 00:24:39,839 to solidify a power after all, Martin says, well, that 308 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,240 ends our session for today. 309 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,559 Speaker 2: See you next time. Buddy. 310 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 1: Martin pulls out his backpack, opens it up, and suddenly 311 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,720 jumps inside match a carpet and all the backpack then 312 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:59,240 just disappears from existence. You stand there and shock, learning 313 00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:02,839 that you're very You mentor planned this attack just to 314 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:08,839 test you. Oh well, eh, at least you're at your house. 315 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,079 You haven't been there in a while. You lift up 316 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,960 your skateboard and tuck it back inside your backpack, where 317 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,400 it kind of disappears into the little pocket dimension you 318 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:25,599 have created there. You head inside your house, say hello 319 00:25:25,759 --> 00:25:29,680 to your family for a little while, and then head 320 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,519 to your bedroom. You pull back the covers and you 321 00:25:34,599 --> 00:25:39,680 climb inside your bed. You're pretty tired from all this 322 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:46,119 creating and redirecting lightning thing, but you do feel pretty powerful. 323 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:52,519 As a result, you begin to just focus on your breath, 324 00:25:53,599 --> 00:25:58,039 and with each breath you release a little more tension 325 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:05,880 with your arms and then your legs, just letting them 326 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:13,319 sink down deeper and deeper into the mattress. You notice 327 00:26:13,319 --> 00:26:18,400 any tension in your shoulders and you let it go, 328 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,880 allowing them to just kind of sink down into the 329 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:28,759 mattress as well. You notice any tension in your stomach 330 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,160 or your chest, and with each out breath, you just 331 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:40,079 let it go. With each breath, you sink down deeper 332 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:45,400 and deeper into the mattress, feeling more and more relaxed 333 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:46,200 each time. 334 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 2: Last, you notice any tension in. 335 00:26:52,599 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: Your neck, your head, or your face, and you let 336 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:04,200 it fall away way as well. Soon, with a nice 337 00:27:04,279 --> 00:27:08,960 half smile on your face, you begin to focus your 338 00:27:09,039 --> 00:27:15,319 mind on your next adventure. You can go anywhere, and 339 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:21,240 you can do anything. The only limit is your imagination. 340 00:27:24,039 --> 00:27:30,880 Good night everyone. Imagine yourself waking up inside your little 341 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:37,440 pocket dimension, a place tucked away inside a backpack that 342 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,640 has a bed, kitchen, living room, and anything else you 343 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,759 could really want. You get out of bed, you stretch 344 00:27:45,799 --> 00:27:49,559 your arms and legs. You grab a little breakfast from 345 00:27:49,599 --> 00:27:53,720 the kitchen area, and then you begin to climb up 346 00:27:53,759 --> 00:27:57,720 the ladder, a ladder that leads to a little hatch 347 00:27:57,799 --> 00:28:01,839 at the top of the pocket dimension. As you get 348 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,839 to the top of the ladder, you unzip the hatch 349 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,799 above you, also known as the top of your backpack. 350 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,880 Then you climb the rest of the way up the 351 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,279 ladder and find yourself standing in the middle of the 352 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:23,680 training hall. You reach down and grab the backpack and 353 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:29,279 placing it between both hands, you sort of squish them together, 354 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:36,119 and as you do, the backpack automatically shrinks. It shrinks 355 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,920 and shrinks and shrinks until it's a little keychain sized 356 00:28:41,039 --> 00:28:45,559 backpack that you tuck away in your pocket. Magic really 357 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:50,279 is pretty amazing, after all. While you're looking around the room, 358 00:28:51,279 --> 00:28:56,400 another backpack suddenly appears out of nowhere, lands on the floor, 359 00:28:57,279 --> 00:29:01,759 and you see the zipper unzip. Out of the top 360 00:29:01,839 --> 00:29:07,720 of the backpack emerges a very bald, very bearded, and 361 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,839 very wizardy sort of man. 362 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:12,319 Speaker 2: Martin. 363 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:19,279 Speaker 1: Oh, Hey, good morning, kid, Martin says, I've really been thinking. 364 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:24,319 I've taught you lightning magic, I've taught you fire magic. 365 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,559 I've taught you how to lift things with your mind. 366 00:29:29,559 --> 00:29:33,319 You kind of learned the ice magic thing on your own. Man, 367 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:38,759 I even taught you nature magic. The question is what's 368 00:29:38,839 --> 00:29:44,519 the most important type of magic to use next? And 369 00:29:44,559 --> 00:29:50,319 then it hit me, time magic. It's basically something you've 370 00:29:50,359 --> 00:29:53,000 already learned a little of when you were doing the 371 00:29:53,119 --> 00:29:59,000 nature magic, and it happens to be one of my specialties, 372 00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:07,480 Martin explains. You see, Martins are known throughout space, time, 373 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:14,359 and across different universes for their command and control of 374 00:30:14,599 --> 00:30:21,279 time and space magic. In fact, many of my counterparts 375 00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:26,119 from different parts of the multiverse are in charge of 376 00:30:26,279 --> 00:30:30,319 keeping the multiverse safe, and I try not to get 377 00:30:30,319 --> 00:30:34,680 involved with that too often, but sometimes I get dragged 378 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:40,359 into it either way. As a result, I've really figured 379 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,799 out this time magic thing. 380 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:45,319 Speaker 3: You have. 381 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: What is time magic anyways? Like you mean like time travel? 382 00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:57,920 Well sort of, I mean you can kind of time 383 00:30:58,039 --> 00:31:03,160 travel to a place you've been before. But what I'm 384 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:12,039 really talking about is controlling the speed of existence. Cool, 385 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:18,440 you respond, not really sure what Martin's talking about. You see, 386 00:31:19,079 --> 00:31:23,480 the speed of existence is very different than the speed 387 00:31:23,519 --> 00:31:27,440 of movement. You can run from one place to another 388 00:31:28,079 --> 00:31:34,759 incredibly quickly, but can you exist faster? That's the real question. 389 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:41,039 You stand there staring at Martin with your eyes wide open, 390 00:31:42,079 --> 00:31:46,599 completely confused as to what it is he's talking about. 391 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,519 Uh see, you're not really getting this. Well, have you 392 00:31:51,559 --> 00:31:56,000 ever seen one of those superhero movies, like one where 393 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,480 the superpowered character is moving super fast and they show 394 00:32:01,559 --> 00:32:05,640 that by slowing down everything else around them. 395 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 3: Uh? 396 00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:09,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have seen that. 397 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:16,319 Speaker 1: Before you respond, well, i'd consider that not to be 398 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:22,359 moving fast, but existing fast. Every part of your body 399 00:32:23,119 --> 00:32:28,640 exists at a faster pace compared to you. Everything else 400 00:32:28,759 --> 00:32:36,440 seems very very slow, But in reality, it's because you 401 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:43,799 are existing very very fast, your mind, your body, your everything. 402 00:32:45,119 --> 00:32:49,680 On the other hand, you could exist slower than everything else. 403 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,319 It would seem like everybody was flying by you in 404 00:32:54,359 --> 00:32:58,440 a blur. Day would turn to night quicker than you 405 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:03,319 could imagine. It's really not as useful. And unless you 406 00:33:03,359 --> 00:33:07,400 want to travel to the future, of course, But going back, 407 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:12,880 Oh boy is that hard, honestly, kid, and I don't 408 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:17,880 recommend it. It's uh well, he can have some serious consequences. 409 00:33:19,039 --> 00:33:24,279 Oh okay, So what do we start with first? And 410 00:33:24,319 --> 00:33:28,319 what exactly is time magic useful for? You? 411 00:33:28,559 --> 00:33:28,799 Speaker 2: Ask? 412 00:33:29,279 --> 00:33:34,599 Speaker 1: But before Martin can even respond, he just kind of disappears. 413 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,200 You feel a tap on your right shoulder and you 414 00:33:39,319 --> 00:33:43,680 turn around to see him standing right there. Did you 415 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,200 just teleport? You ask? 416 00:33:47,279 --> 00:33:48,799 Speaker 2: Nah, not exactly. 417 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: I just shifted into a faster speed of existence and 418 00:33:53,519 --> 00:33:56,920 then walked over behind you before you could even tell. 419 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 2: Oh. Wow. 420 00:34:01,079 --> 00:34:04,559 Speaker 1: You begin to imagine all the uses for such a power. 421 00:34:05,559 --> 00:34:08,840 You'd have time to stop and think about a situation 422 00:34:10,119 --> 00:34:13,280 you could get out of, almost any trouble you could 423 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:19,440 get yourself into. It certainly seems like a very useful power. 424 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,239 All right, Well, how do I do this time magic thing? 425 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 2: You ask? 426 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:32,079 Speaker 1: Well, like anything else, Martin responds, there's a lot of 427 00:34:32,119 --> 00:34:35,880 ways to do it, But now I'm gonna start you 428 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,880 out with the way I learned basically. Anyways, Now let's 429 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:45,079 sit down on the ground. You and Martin both sit 430 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:50,159 down on the ground, your legs crossed. Martin places his 431 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:55,119 hands in his lap and what looks like a meditation pose. 432 00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:04,079 You copy what he's doing and listen very carefully. All right, First, 433 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:09,320 like anything, you've got to relax. You have to center 434 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:15,000 yourself in a place where anything is possible. You do 435 00:35:15,079 --> 00:35:18,920 your best to do just that. You close your eyes, 436 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:24,599 You begin to anchor on your breath, noticing your stomach 437 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:30,920 as it goes in and out. And as you do, 438 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,679 you start to focus your mind on a memory, a 439 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:45,000 memory that makes you feel very relaxed, very happy, a 440 00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:52,079 feeling of things being completely unlimited, all of the possibilities 441 00:35:52,079 --> 00:35:57,559 in the world set out before you. A good job, kid, 442 00:35:58,079 --> 00:36:03,320 Martin says, now that you're in the right state, I 443 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:08,519 need you to focus on going faster now. I know, 444 00:36:09,119 --> 00:36:12,440 I know what you're thinking. You're thinking your goal is 445 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:17,320 to slow down time. Man, well, I guess you could 446 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:22,360 try to do that. Slowing down everything else is way 447 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:28,679 way more difficult than just speeding yourself up. Time is relative, 448 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:37,159 after all, So just imagine yourself going faster. Imagine every 449 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:45,079 part of your body, every cell, every molecule, every atom, 450 00:36:45,519 --> 00:36:57,239 every electron, moving faster, vibrating faster, man, just generally going faster. 451 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:03,800 With your eyes closed, you begin to imagine just that. 452 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,880 You imagine every cell in your body is starting to 453 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:15,239 move at a faster rate. And then you imagine even smaller, 454 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:22,599 every molecule, every atom vibrating at a faster pace. And 455 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:28,440 as you do, and you continue to repeat faster, faster, 456 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:35,440 faster inside your mind, your body starts to feel a 457 00:37:35,519 --> 00:37:40,119 little bit strange, a little like you've had way too 458 00:37:40,199 --> 00:37:45,199 much candy or something like that. And as you open 459 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:53,559 your eyes, you see that Martin has almost entirely stopped moving. 460 00:37:55,039 --> 00:37:59,480 I mean, he's still moving a little bit. You watch 461 00:37:59,519 --> 00:38:06,760 as his eye blinks at an incredibly slow pace. You 462 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,760 stand up. Your body's still feeling like it's buzzing with 463 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:16,159 energy and like you're full of sugar. You walk around 464 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,239 the room and everything else is frozen. 465 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 2: Two. 466 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 1: You run towards the door that opens up into the 467 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,679 room and you push on it, hoping to open it up, 468 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:35,159 and fortunately for you, what happens is far more destructive. 469 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,480 And as you push on the wooden door that leads 470 00:38:38,519 --> 00:38:43,119 into the training area, the door just sort of falls 471 00:38:43,159 --> 00:38:47,920 apart in your hands. It begins to break into thousands 472 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:52,679 of little wood chunks and pieces. The pieces move quickly 473 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,320 at first, but then slow down as they move away 474 00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:01,599 from you and begin flying through the air. Did you 475 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:08,880 just destroy the door? I guess if you're moving faster, 476 00:39:10,199 --> 00:39:13,519 then it was as if the door was hit with 477 00:39:13,599 --> 00:39:19,719 something moving at an incredible speed. You never really considered 478 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,840 this aspect of the power. Not only can you move 479 00:39:24,079 --> 00:39:29,679 very fast, but as a result, you are incredibly strong, 480 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,079 at least compared to other things moving at a different pace. 481 00:39:36,079 --> 00:39:40,000 You carefully walk through the halls of the Magic Academy, 482 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:45,679 and as you do, everything you see around you is 483 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:50,119 frozen in place. Who are almost frozen in place? 484 00:39:50,199 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 2: Anyways? 485 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 1: The people walk in a very strange looking slow motion. 486 00:39:58,119 --> 00:40:03,119 You easily walk between them, dodging between one person and 487 00:40:03,199 --> 00:40:08,599 another person. You walk up the stairs and through the hallway, 488 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:13,119 and wherever you go it's as if you're watching a 489 00:40:13,199 --> 00:40:18,000 slow motion video. You continue to walk down the hall 490 00:40:18,199 --> 00:40:19,239 until you hear. 491 00:40:19,119 --> 00:40:22,119 Speaker 2: A voice, Hey kid, wait up. 492 00:40:23,199 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: You turn around to look behind you, and you see 493 00:40:27,639 --> 00:40:31,679 Martin running down the hall after you. And that took 494 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,000 me a second to get in this mode too. I 495 00:40:35,079 --> 00:40:39,199 can't believe you did it and you're able to sustain 496 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:44,079 the power this long. It's cool, isn't it? Martin says, 497 00:40:45,559 --> 00:40:51,760 it's really really cool. You respond. You and Martin continue 498 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:56,039 to walk through the hall of slow motion people, carefully 499 00:40:56,079 --> 00:41:01,119 dodging around them. By the way, I think I kind 500 00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:05,639 of wrecked the door to the training area. Oh yeah, 501 00:41:05,679 --> 00:41:09,519 and I saw that. Don't worry about it. Happened to 502 00:41:09,559 --> 00:41:12,960 me the first time I went into slow or fast 503 00:41:13,039 --> 00:41:17,360 motion whatever we're calling this thing. You see, when you're 504 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:23,239 existing at this speed, you have a higher time density. 505 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,920 It might feel like you're just pushing on a door 506 00:41:28,039 --> 00:41:31,840 or something like that, but to the door, it feels 507 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:36,639 like it's being hit by an object going hundreds, if 508 00:41:36,679 --> 00:41:41,719 not thousands, of miles an hour. Man, As you can imagine, 509 00:41:42,199 --> 00:41:46,159 doors don't really like being hit at thousands of miles 510 00:41:46,159 --> 00:41:50,320 per hour by anything. I mean that those speeds a 511 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:55,079 paper airplane could blow a door apart. It's honestly pretty crazy. 512 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,480 You and Martin walk into the cafeteria of the school 513 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:05,880 once again. You see a very strange, very slow motion 514 00:42:06,159 --> 00:42:11,199 seen unfolding in front of you. You see people eating food, 515 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:16,199 people getting food, people sitting at tables and laughing with 516 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:25,159 one another. And then you see Tyrannus. Tyrannus Rexington. He 517 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,519 and his friends are hanging out at a table, but 518 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:34,280 they're clearly bullying, if not torturing, some. 519 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:35,679 Speaker 2: Of the other students. 520 00:42:37,679 --> 00:42:41,320 Speaker 1: You walk over to Wardam to see exactly what's going on. 521 00:42:42,519 --> 00:42:48,360 You see Tyrannus pointing as wand towards another student and 522 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:53,679 unleashing a tiny bolt of lightning, just like he did 523 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:54,320 to you. 524 00:42:54,519 --> 00:42:55,400 Speaker 2: The other day. 525 00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: You can see the lightning moving and slow motion as 526 00:43:02,599 --> 00:43:06,840 the boy slowly reacts to getting hit in the bum 527 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:12,360 by a bolt of lightning. It's a very strange scene 528 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:17,760 to behold that little I am not letting him get 529 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,519 away with this, you announced to Martin, and I wouldn't 530 00:43:21,559 --> 00:43:23,000 expect anything less. 531 00:43:23,079 --> 00:43:23,400 Speaker 2: Kid. 532 00:43:24,039 --> 00:43:28,840 Speaker 1: Just keep it civil, okay, Oh, I'm not sinking to 533 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:35,840 his level. You respond, in your very fast state of existence. 534 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:41,760 You walk over to Tyrannus. You examine the scene taking 535 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,679 place in front of you, and you come up with 536 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,599 a clever plan. It was just the other day that 537 00:43:49,639 --> 00:43:54,280 Martin taught you how to control lightning, and you think 538 00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:59,760 you might have a use for it. Now, you focus 539 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:04,159 your mind on creating a path for the lightning, a 540 00:44:04,199 --> 00:44:09,880 path free of charge. You watch the path move through 541 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:14,800 the air from just behind the student being hit by 542 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:20,760 the lightning bolt, curving around through the air right back 543 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:27,679 to Tyrannus Rexington's toe. As you solidify the path, you 544 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:33,159 watch as the slow motion lightning stops hitting the child 545 00:44:34,039 --> 00:44:39,519 and moves into the pathway. It slowly curves around arcs 546 00:44:39,639 --> 00:44:45,960 back towards Tyrannus and strikes him in the toe. You 547 00:44:46,079 --> 00:44:51,880 watch as his face very very slowly turns from one 548 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:58,519 of laughter and happiness to one of sudden pain and anger. 549 00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:00,280 Speaker 2: Ah. 550 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,079 Speaker 1: I kind of want to talk to him, you say 551 00:45:03,119 --> 00:45:05,360 to Martin, how do we get out of this thing? 552 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,239 Speaker 2: Well, well, that's a lot easier. 553 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 1: You just kind of relax, take a deep breath, let 554 00:45:13,079 --> 00:45:17,360 go of all the tension and your arms and legs. Man, 555 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:23,639 just give yourself permission to stop existing so quickly. Taking 556 00:45:23,679 --> 00:45:26,840 a long, deep breath always helps with that sort of thing. 557 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:28,400 Speaker 2: You do. 558 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:32,840 Speaker 1: Just that, you breathe in as much as you possibly can, 559 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:39,760 and you breathe out very quickly, focusing on relaxing all 560 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:46,079 of your muscles and allowing time to return to normal. Suddenly, 561 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,719 all of the noise of the cafeteria fills your ears, 562 00:45:50,119 --> 00:45:54,559 and people start to move at their normal pace, including 563 00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:59,599 Tyrannus Rexington, who suddenly jumping up and down on one foot, 564 00:46:00,199 --> 00:46:07,480 yelling and pain. Who who did this? Tyrannus says it 565 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:14,400 was you, wasn't it. He goes on to accuse, well, 566 00:46:14,559 --> 00:46:19,000 you know what, Tyrannus, it was me. Well, actually it 567 00:46:19,079 --> 00:46:22,039 was kind of you. It was your own lightning bolt, 568 00:46:22,119 --> 00:46:22,719 after all? 569 00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 3: Why you little ungrateful, normal, non magic person I challenge 570 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,480 you to undouel. 571 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:44,039 Speaker 2: Oh a duel? You say, let's do it. 572 00:46:45,199 --> 00:46:51,679 Speaker 1: The entire cafeteria suddenly goes silent, and everyone walks out 573 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:57,320 onto the balcony of the courtyard. You and Tyrannas step 574 00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:01,760 into a little dueling area, one that you visited on 575 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:06,519 your very first day in the castle. You pull the 576 00:47:06,559 --> 00:47:11,159 wand out of your pocket and Tyrannus does the same thing. 577 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:18,199 All right, kids, Martin says, are you all ready for 578 00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:24,480 a duel? The crowd erupts with loud cheers and applause. 579 00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:30,039 The kids here really seem to like duels. There's just 580 00:47:30,159 --> 00:47:37,360 a couple rules. Number one, nothing lethal. Mall spells must 581 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:42,159 be safe, even if they are designed to knock out 582 00:47:42,159 --> 00:47:46,920 your opponent or something like that. If one opponent is 583 00:47:47,119 --> 00:47:55,400 incapacitated or well gives up, the other wizard wins. We 584 00:47:55,440 --> 00:48:03,159 will begin in three two one. As soon as he 585 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:10,599 announces the word one, you shift back into your time mode. 586 00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,119 You find it a little easier to do this time, 587 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:20,039 urging yourself to move faster and faster, but your body 588 00:48:20,119 --> 00:48:23,320 figures it out much more quickly than the first time. 589 00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:28,039 You don't speed up quite as much as last time either, 590 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:32,400 but you do speed up enough that everything around you 591 00:48:32,559 --> 00:48:40,119 seems very slow. Tyrannus unleashes a bolt of lightning from 592 00:48:40,199 --> 00:48:44,440 the tip of his want. The lightning moves towards you 593 00:48:44,559 --> 00:48:48,400 pretty quickly, but with enough time to see it coming 594 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:53,679 and enough time to form protective paths for the lightning 595 00:48:54,199 --> 00:49:00,000 from directly in front of you to directly back at Tyrannus. 596 00:49:01,199 --> 00:49:06,199 You watch as the lightning slowly hits the paths, curves around, 597 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:12,320 and once again strikes Tyrannus in the toe. He jumps 598 00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:17,679 up and down in slow motion pain. This new time 599 00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:23,079 power is an absolute game changer. There's hundreds, if not thousands, 600 00:49:23,079 --> 00:49:26,559 of ways you could win this duel. Moving at a 601 00:49:26,639 --> 00:49:32,480 different speed is an advantage like almost no other. But 602 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:38,599 watching Tyrannus jump up and down in pain and looking 603 00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,400 kind of angry while holding his foot. 604 00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:43,840 Speaker 2: Gives you an idea. 605 00:49:45,079 --> 00:49:49,079 Speaker 1: You speed yourself even more, with the result of slowing 606 00:49:49,079 --> 00:49:53,880 everything else down even more, until Tyrannus is just about 607 00:49:54,079 --> 00:49:58,719 frozen in place, holding his toe with both of his hands, 608 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:04,719 and when singing pain, pain that he clearly caused himself. 609 00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:10,800 Seeing him like this like a statue, makes you think 610 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:16,119 that Tyrannus would make a very good statue, but how 611 00:50:16,199 --> 00:50:19,880 exactly can you make him a statue for everyone else? 612 00:50:22,159 --> 00:50:26,639 As you think through the possibilities, you remember the nature 613 00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:31,039 magic you learned, where you were able to affect the 614 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:37,599 speed and movement of plants, causing them to grow faster. Clearly, 615 00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:43,239 it must be possible to turn down other people's time, rhythm, 616 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:48,119 or whatever you might call it. You walk up towards 617 00:50:48,199 --> 00:50:56,119 Tyrannus and you look at him, very, very carefully. You 618 00:50:56,239 --> 00:51:03,519 begin to imagine him existing slower, even slower than he 619 00:51:03,639 --> 00:51:08,800 already is. You pull your wand out, you point it 620 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:15,159 towards him, and you allow your energy and his energy 621 00:51:15,199 --> 00:51:21,599 to become one. As you focus on Tyrannus, you focus 622 00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:26,360 on the opposite of what you focused on to move faster. 623 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:34,880 You imagine every bit of him moving even slower, until 624 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:41,079 it's basically stopped. It's hard to tell since you're moving 625 00:51:41,119 --> 00:51:46,960 so quickly, but it's as if he looks less solid, 626 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:52,000 almost like a ghost. Moving at this speed, you can 627 00:51:52,039 --> 00:51:57,639 see the space between his atoms. It's really strange, but 628 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:03,920 you're pretty sure you've accomplish your task. You close your eyes, 629 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:09,719 you take in a slow, deep, breath, and as you 630 00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:14,440 release it, you relax all of your muscles, and time 631 00:52:14,639 --> 00:52:19,719 shoots back to normal, well for everyone other than Tyrannus, 632 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:25,719 who's suddenly stuck standing right in front of you in 633 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:31,360 the exact same pose he was before, looking like a statue, 634 00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:36,679 perfectly healthy, perfectly fine, but moving at such a slow 635 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,239 speed that it'll take him a while to figure out 636 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,320 how to get out of that, and in the meantime, 637 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:50,199 the courtyard will have a very beautiful statue. The crowd 638 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,719 around you cheers once they figure out that you've won 639 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:59,039 the thing. A great job, kid, that's certainly something I 640 00:52:59,079 --> 00:53:05,119 never even tie. You put your hands together for kid, wizard, 641 00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,480 I keep forgetting asked the kid's name, Martin says, and 642 00:53:09,519 --> 00:53:15,920 the crowd cheers even louder, and you begin to feel 643 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,920 pretty tired. You say you good bye to Martin and 644 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:25,360 you walk away from the cafeteria. You've only been awake 645 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:29,280 for a short time, but it feels like a much 646 00:53:29,639 --> 00:53:34,079 much longer time, probably because of the speed you were 647 00:53:34,159 --> 00:53:38,840 existing at. You reach into your pocket, pull out the 648 00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:44,280 little keychain sized backpack, put a hand on each side 649 00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:49,239 of it, and open your hands apart, like you're zooming 650 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:55,079 in on a touch screen. With that, the backpack grows 651 00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:59,599 to normal size, if not a bit larger. You place 652 00:53:59,639 --> 00:54:05,400 it on the ground, unzip it, and climb inside, climbing 653 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:10,920 down a little ladder. The zipper closes above you, and 654 00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:18,280 presumably the backpack disappears from existence as well. You immediately 655 00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:22,679 climb into your comfortable bed. You pull the covers up 656 00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:28,719 over top of yourself, and you close your eyes, just 657 00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,960 like you did when you were shifting out of your 658 00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:37,320 fast time mode. You take a long, deep breath and 659 00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:41,800 then release it quickly, allowing all of the tension to 660 00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,079 drain away from your. 661 00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:45,400 Speaker 2: Arms and your legs. 662 00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:51,360 Speaker 1: You sink down deeper and deeper into the mattress with 663 00:54:51,480 --> 00:55:00,199 each breath, and slowly you close your eyes, and you 664 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:05,239 allow your mind to drift off to dreams of new 665 00:55:05,280 --> 00:56:20,119 things and new adventures to come. Good Night, everyone, Sai.
